We are active in a diverse range of end use applications ranging from packaging, cosmetics and food products to materials for aerospace, control devices and even explosives. We develop, produce and sell waxes, adhesives and dispersions that are formulated to precisely match our customerÕs targeted performance criteria.

Established for over 100 years, we have a long standing history and experience in our application fields. This expertise, built up through the years, allows us to deliver just the right product and has enabled us to build commitment and trust with our customers for the long term.

Materials

This stage involves gathering all the necessary materials needed to make your product. Some factories provide materials and assembly; sometimes you will need to buy materials separately.

Tooling

To produce products at a rapid rate and drive your cost down, you might have to invest in machinery that is customized to your design; that is "tooling". This machinery will vary depending on the product, but can range from plastic molds to custom branding stamps, and so on.

Production

"Production run" means making a lot of one product at once. The factories listed under "production" can produce small and/or large quantities. The minimum order for a production run can vary from factory to factory (some have no minimum, some require a dozen, and some require up to 1,000 to be made at once)
